When you are courting a nice girl an hour seems like a second. When you sit on a red-hot cinder a second seems like an hour. That's relativity. Albert Einstein
A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul. George Bernard Shaw Housework can't kill you, but why take a chance? Phyllis Diller I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food. W. C. Fields You can lead a man to Congress, but you can't make him think. Milton Berle Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck. George Carlin
You can lead a whore to culture but you cannot make her think Dorothy Parker
My definition of an intellectual is someone who can listen to the William Tell Overture without thinking of the Lone Ranger. Billy Connolly Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm schizophrenic, and so am I. Oscar Levant I used to jog but the ice cubes kept falling out of my glass. David Lee Roth
I was the kid next door's imaginary friend. Emo Philips To attract men, I wear a perfume called 'New Car Interior.' Rita Rudner
